Interoute Dark Fibre Network

Interoute’s dark fibre network allows you to lease optical fibre cables or “dark fibre” as opposed to leasing bandwidth on our network. Accessing our dark fibre network allows for a completely bespoke service that is tailored to your firm’s unique requirements. We offer a wide variety of wavelengths via DWDM (Dense Wave Division Multiplexing) and the network is designed to handle 40 GB and 100 GB traffic.

Our dark fibre services are designed to put you in complete control of your network. Our dark fibre network provides total flexibility in the choice of service platforms you wish to employ. You can choose to overlay any protocol and be safe in the knowledge that expansion and full control are firmly in your own hands.

Our network has been geographically designed as a series of rings with multiple interconnecting points between each ring. This provides the user with flexible design options based on ring, mesh or point-point architecture. Amplifier spacing has been carefully considered to provide our customers with the flexibility to choose from a wide range of equipment, vendors and technologies and with a view on 40 GB and 100GB standards.

Via our dark fibre network you can connect directly to our network of 12 data centres, 13 virtual data centres and 31 colocation centres across 21 city networks based in 30 countries. Dark fibre is also the perfect solution for deploying your own VPN or connecting your own network of data centres or business locations.
